Stephen's bags we all lost going to Italy. He was there for 2 or 3 days without any bags. Thank goodness they arrived, he would of lost everything accept his computer. They told him that this happens all the time.
Robin I am so glad I can get coffee in the bars. LOL Thanks, that is all I wanted to take was a light jacket.

They didn't lose his sea bag going to Naples, they lost it somewhere between Jacksonville, Gitmo and Haiti. He's on the Comfort now most likely until at least the end of March, possibly longer. Wondering if he will still be assigned to the eye surgeon when he finally gets back to Naples? He hadn't even started at the clinic before he got deployed! No use worrying at this point really, I was just wondering how that all works out. He is putting in long shifts but loving all the experience he is getting and he said the Hatian people are so grateful that it makes it all worth while.

Hi Moms! All is well, have had a few e-mails from Devin, he is working 12-14 hour shifts, lots of surgeries to be done. He's actually got some of his classmates from C-school and some instructors there as well and his roomate from A school is on board as well so he's feeling pretty good! The lost sea bags have been found and delivered so having clean undies is a great thing too! LOL
Carrie - just one thing to say about football - Tampa Bay Bucs. UGH!!! Our whole family (with the exception of ME) are season ticket holders since they started playing in the 70's, talk about diehards, I don't know how they do it year after year. Had a little glory with that superbowl win a while back but most of the time they Suck! This season was no exception! LOL

LOL I am in a football pool waiting for the numbers to be picked. I wish the Bears were in htere but they sucked this year. LOL Sorry for the language! Well at lease out hockey team is doing good.
Carrie you are right it is all about the family, that is for sure.
Robin I probably will not go into the water but I am taking a bathsuit, you just never know. So I think a light jacket will be ok then. I think I will be in the bars at night don't have to worry about a jacket. LOL

Robin is the temp around 70's in May, I think that is what I have read? That really would be perfect not to hot not to cold, just right. LOL
-

LOL Carrie, if he ate me he would not be hungry for a week or so. LOL I am getting a BIG whistle!!! Yes I like to water warmer also. I am sure whatever we do it will be great, the whole family will be together, it could not get better than that.
Robin, he has been there since May and he has a year and a half to go there and then he can pick another station, well that is the way it is going now, you never know what is going to change. The Navy did tell him it was cheaper to keep single men there then families. I am hoping he will come closer to home, maybe he will pick a ship, he always wanted a ship but he has not talked about that in a while.
Ladies have a great Sat.

Robin I thought that is what Stephen told me, unless I am not remembering right.

LOL Carrie, when Stephen was little and watched Jaws for the first time, that was the last time I could get him to go into the ocean. LOL My parents live in FLorida and we would go visit every year, I did not hear about the jelly fish but I don't want to swim with them either, I do remember when Stephen was down there in May last year in was in the 90's it was very warm but I do too like the water much warmer, maybe I will be the look out for sharks and jelly fish. LOL Well see we want to do so much, I don't think we will be able to do everything we want, but we will try.

We are going to Carp and going in the water but Stephen told me he did see a shark when he was in the water, I told him to stay out of the water, is he crazy, maybe the water will be too cold. LOL Well the boys can have a beer and Samantha and I will shop. LOL

Thanks for the information Robin, Stephen was not sure about Christmas Alley, you know he is not really a shopper. LOL But he will be when I get down there. I had my husband read everything you wrote, keep it coming.
Carrie I would thought of you are a troublemaker. LOL
